"Before I started
coaching with Rena, I was living life according to everyone else's standards
instead of living authentically and being true to myself. I was often stuck in
the past or future instead of living in the now. The coaching process allowed
me to dig deep within in order to find the courage to accept life as it is, to be
present and to enjoy each and every moment. I now have the tools to continue
living an authentic and meaningful life. I highly recommend working with coach
Rena, if you want to gain clarity regarding your dreams and goals and to live
your life to the fullest." Randi Shuster, Life Coach, Ottawa, Canada, www.powerfulyou.ca
"Before receiving Wise Woman Coaching with Rena, I was searching for a new career path but was unsure exactly what I wanted to do and how to make it happen. I felt stuck in an unfulfilling job and frustrated with the direction I was going. Through life coaching, Rena taught me the importance of focusing on what I really want instead of focusing on what I don't want. The sessions helped me discover what is truly important in my life and gave me the tools needed to articulate my goals. Rena also helped me identify the specific steps I needed to achieve my goals. As a result, I have returned to school to pursue a new career and finally feel like I am headed in the right direction. I encourage you to work with coach Rena if you are ready to take control of your life and pursue your dreams!" Eileen Marr, Interior Design Student, West Linn, OR
"Rena exudes a peaceful confidence and warmth that makes me feel very comfortable working with her. While doing the coaching, I knew that she genuinely cared about helping me move forward with my goals. Anybody who is feeling stuck and needs clarity and inspired insight would benefit greatly from a coaching session with Rena." Erin Floresca, writer, Portland, OR
"At 40 years old, I had reached a point in my life where everything from health issues, to life feeling too overwhelming, was controlling my life. In the past, I had tried everything, including psychotherapy, to help me deal with these difficulties, but nothing had any lasting impact on me. Nothing seemed to reach into the deep negative pit I had put myself in. Since working with Rena, I've felt a consistent and lasting shift in my behaviors, which is ultimately helping me to achieve a healthy balance in my life. After each session, I feel great changes occurring within me; like new thought pathways were breaking through and developing. I knew my consciousness was changing as I began to make new deliberate choices in my day-to-day life that felt more natural than those I had been making in the past. Life-coaching with Rena has proven to have a profound effect on my life and I'm happier than I've ever been; knowing I have the power within myself to bring about transformation in my life. If you feel hopeless because you've tried everything out there without success, I encourage you to work with Rena for a truly positive life-changing experience." ~ Janice Packard, Artist & Teacher, Gresham, Oregon
"I really got so much out of my session with Rena Hatch. A good coach, asks the question beneath the question, so that the client can unearth their own answers. She did just that. By the end of the session, I got a chance to really come away with not only important insights, but tangible actions and tools to transform a challenge into a goal." Lois Barth, Luscious Living Lady, Coach/Speaker/Writer, www.1Dreamatatime.com
About the Ocean Retreat ...
"Before I attended the Ocean Retreat last fall I was feeling very depleted in energy, wasn't sleeping much, and feeling frustrated with the direction of my life. Rena's retreat was a savior in changing my whole outlook and perspective! Not only was I in the company of great women but I reaped the positive benefits of doing something healthy for myself! Afterwards, I felt like screaming those magical words "I am woman, hear me roar!" A year later I am still living off the great magic of that weekend and have chosen to attend another retreat this year. I fully recommend this time for yourself if you need a time to replenish, learn something new about yourself, or just need time to relax and enjoy. I promise you will not be disappointed." Ann-Marie Ramsey, Human Resources-Recruiter, Portland, OR
"I feel I am still in my wonderful bubble to some degree...the outside world is slowly trying to invade, and eventually will, but I feel strong and healthy and prepared...I came home with insights I never expected and in areas I wasn't even looking...I have a much clearer perspective in many areas that were muddy and concerning...I knew I would enjoy the retreat...great yoga and time with my darling daughter was all I really expected. I really had no idea how much I would be touched. I really feel I found kindred spirits and am still feeling their wonderful and nurturing energy. I learned so much and I feel so nurtured." Marianne Hoffman, Co-manager of JJill Retail, Kaysville, Utah
"My
background was in the Social Service field. I always aimed to
help without reflecting on the effects it was creating. I felt drained and exhausted from the path I was leading in my life. I believed that I could only receive little to none in compensation for
my time given toward helping others. Although I had dreams
to be an entrepreneur I never had the energy to take action. In
October 2006 I attended the LunaGaia Ocean Retreat which was the
catalysis to a whole new way of living. Rena Hatch created a calming and thoughtful environment which nurtured all my senses during the retreat
weekend. This was a safe place to cultivate the dreams I
was slipping away from. Because of Rena's incredible skills and
wisdom I am empowered to take action toward a higher quality of life.
I created huge success in a small business by helping other people AND
receiving generous compensation for my efforts. I am living my dreams and
working toward reaching new ones everyday. Thank you Rena for being you and
having the strength and conviction to believe in Women as
radiant Goddesses. I encourage you to make the LunaGaia Ocean
Retreat your top priority if you want to awaken your talents and
begin creating your life." Adeah

"Before attending Rena's retreat, I was feeling like I was being propelled along by life's obligations, and that I had no control. I was disjointed and out-of-sorts. Rena has helped me to simplify matters and not be hard on myself by focusing on the positive, deleting the unimportant and just being kinder in general. I do feel more grounded and focused when I practice. It is easy to become lazy about practicing yoga, but Rena's style makes it logical to stay with it because I want to be content and happy with myslef and have positive feelings. If you want or need a turn-a-round experience, I certainly recommend attending Rena's retreat. She has helped me reshape my own life's goal to have as much quality-of-life, peace and enjoyment in my life for as long as it's intended and attaining this through my own doing." ~June Hildebrand, Retired Deputy Court Clerk, San Jose, California
"I really enjoyed the time I spent at Rena's retreat. I felt better and more enlightened in body and mind. Rena is also very knowledgeable on the use of relaxation techniques through meditation and healthy living with proper nutrition. This retreat has all the right ingredients to start you on your way to enjoying a healthier, happier life. I enjoyed it. I think you will too." Elizabeth Williams, Merchandiser, California
About yoga ...
"Before Luna Gaia classes, I was struggling with managing my stress and was largely ignoring my intuition around what would be best for me physically, mentally, and spiritually. After I started classes, I felt more in touch with my body and in a more calm, peaceful space generally. The techniques Rena is teaching in class are things I can use on a daily basis to check in with myself and evaluate what I need in the moment. I plan on continuing the classes and to start practicing at home so I can reap even more of the benefits that the steady practice of yoga brings to my life. If you want to take care of yourself on the levels that often times get neglected in day-to-day life, AND be reminded that you are a goddess, whole and beautiful just the way you are, this style of yoga is for you." Joleen Ross, Client Service Coordinator, Portland, Oregon
"I frequently suffered from neck and shoulder pain, tension headaches, and muscle tightness. I found myself constantly treating the symptoms instead of identifying and addressing the root causes. Yoga has helped me become more in touch with my body and I soon discovered that these symptoms were related to how I responded to stress. Through Rena, I have learned many effective stress-relieving techniques, including stretching and breathing exercises that I can practice at home or at work. I have also discovered the important link between the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. The small class sizes allow for personalized attention and a very comfortable learning environment. I look forward to each yoga class and plan to continue the classes as a way of constantly checking in with my body. If you want to re-connect with your body and learn how to honor your femininity, I highly recommend yoga with Rena." Eileen Marr, Product Planning Manager, West Linn, Oregon
